Excellent stay at the Westin

This is a new property, maybe a year since its opening. The hotel is very clean, very modern and has all the Westin touches you expect.
I read somewhere that this is the tallest building in Virginia. You can see it for miles.
The area the hotel is in is called Virginia Beach Town Center. It is a multi-use area consisting of something like four-square blocks. There is a performing arts center, many condos and plenty of restaurants to suit all taste...and all within walking distance.
As for the hotel, you can park valet, $20, or you can park in the garage for free. i opted for the garage since it was really convenient with plenty of parking near the elevators.
The people at the front desk were very nice and professional. I was upgraded to a high floor. not sure if they have suites in the building? There is no Club Lounge which would have been nice.
As for the room, it was spacious, about 450 SF. There was a nice view of the Virginia Beach area, but no view of the ocean even on the top floor. A thing you need to know, the beach "Boardwalk" is about eight miles away. The room had all the Westin standards that is expected, but they did not have the water bottles in my room. I think they had forgot to put them in the room, but it was okay, I...This is a new property, maybe a year since its opening.

The lobby is small and really does not have a sitting area, unless you count the area by the bar as part of the lounge. The bar is nice. They have an extensive martini list that runs from $10-$12. They do have a happy hour. Well, it is called "unwind" but they have one of the best happy hours around. Beers are $3, select martinis are $4, and select appetizers are $3. I believe it runs from 4-6pm daily? For all my Hawaii Yelpers, you will be happy to know that they serve Kona Longboard Lager. It was unfortunate that they were out when I was there.

Another good thing, you are centrally located at this hotel whether you plan to go into downtown Norfolk or Virginia Beach and easy freeway access.

This is a really nice if not the nicest hotel in Hampton Roads.More

I stayed at the Virginia Beach Westin recently. I have been traveling to Norfolk for business, this was my second stay at Westin. The facility is great, it's a brand new hotel. But both my stays I have found the customer service at the hotel during the evening and time night hours greatly lacking. Requests made at the front desk didn't come through, and room servcie...don't get me started!

Because of the facility I will continue to stay here when traveling to VA Beach/Norfolk for work. But I want use room servcie and expect much in terms of guest care at night.

We stayed in the Westin Virginia Beach Town Center this past weekend. The Westin is the tallest building in Virginia, which is sort of cool. It is located in the middle of a very new, created downtown, with upscale chain restaurants and shops. There are many places to walk to for dinner, or for a drink and to people watch. The hotel lobby is nice, and modern. Check in was not very pleasant, the clerk was distant and irritable. We had booked a corner room with special amenities. Once we checked our room we realized we did not have a corner room, and were missing many of the promised items. We had to ask to be moved, and the front desk was unnecessarily difficult. The bathroom was not as clean as it should have been. There was active mold in the bathroom, and OPH (other people's hair). There was something horribly wrong with the water pipes which made a very loud, screeching noise when you ran the hot water. We had fun, anyway. I would recommend the hotel for anyone who wanted to be near the Sandler Center (it is across the street) or wanted to be in this particular area of Virginia Beach.

The Westin hotels are always great stays and this was no exception. We were in the area to see Williamsburg as well as visit a relative, so we stayed here for one night. When we checked in everyone was very friendly. When we got to the room, however, we noticed the pipes were really loud and the carpet was damp. They sent someone up right away and told us we could change rooms. We did, but asked for the same layout (corner room). We got that, with an even better view!

The room was large and beautiful. The bed and bath, of course, were "heavenly." The lobby was very well decorated and trendy.

The hotel is in the middle of a new shopping and restaurant district, which is itself in an odd, older, rundown neighborhood. The weather was bad, so being close to all the restaurants was great. We ate at the McCormick and Schmidts across the way, but there is also PF Changs and several other restaurants nearby. Overall a great, albeit short, stay!

I stayed at the Westin for 2 nights on business. Overall a very nice hotel. Rooms nicely decorated with flat screen HD televisions. The only complaint here is no TV program guide, only a channel listing.Bed very comfortable, lots of pillows.

No free internet. They charge to use the business center and it's $10 to access the internet in the room.(not wireless). Did not use the gym/pool.Great location, many restaurants/shopping across street, Bravo Cucina was excellent Italian.Parking was free in garage.

Restaurant was good but pricey as usual. Waiter was very slow, I saw two guests come in for breakfast and leave after no one showed up at their table within a few minutes. Starbucks coffee in large thermos', but not free. I recommend bringing your paper cups from the room for coffee to-go.

No fridge or microwave, but then again, this is the Westin.Price was good (that's why I chose this hotel), maybe higher in the summer.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights when in town for a wedding. The hotel was very very nice with a beautiful lobby and comfortable rooms. The location is great in that it's within a town center with some great restaurants and shops. The only downside would be if you wanted to be close to the beach. It is about 15-20mins away. For what we wanted it for though, it was perfect.
